Best AMD for PS, Sony Vegas, and LOTRO?

[gern blanston]

Hello,

I'm building a new machine and have a specious request... what AMD processor/mobo would provide the best overall performance for photo/video editing and playing LOTRO (mmorpg)? I'm not exactly made of $$ so I'm trying to figure out if the A10 5800 / asrock mobo is the best fit, or maybe try FX-8120 with a good mobo and video card RAM? I figure at least 8gig 1600 minimum. and also a SSD for the OS and a a 7200rpm for storage. Anyone? Suggestions? Bueller?

A10 is good for MMORPG

but for video editing, it has less potential

so FX 8350 is the only choice
8GB ram
SSD
7850 2GB
sweet

avoid the FX 81xx processors

so 8350 , or 8320

I got my tax return and decided to go all out! I ended building a new machine with AMD FX 8350, Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3, 16 gig ram... and it is SMOKIN'! Scores 7.8 on the windows experience. I just need a slightly better video card (I used my old card GeForce 9600 GT until I got a better one). It is Soooo responsive. No lag or stuttering on LOTRO. I haven't gotten my new PS installed yet, but GIMP is breezy. I'm going to install Vegas 12 asap. Thanks for the advice. LOVIN' my new build!
